The average salary for a Software Engineer is around £37,469 in the UK, of course you'd earn a lot more at senior positions or if you work in London

Not every Software Engineering job requires you to have a degree in Computer Science but it helps. It's also important to have some experience in industry too, many people graduate without experience and find it hard to get a job in IT.

Really? You struggle to get jobs without experience? Aren't there graduate software developer roles or something?
Of course there are graduate software developer roles, but think of the competition. Everyone who applies will have a degree (2:1 vs a 1st is irrelevant since 2:1 is the minimum), if you go in with no working experience and there's other candidates there with at least a year in industry (placement year perhaps), you're going to lose out. -

Experience is very important these days.
